Description

Dec. 18, 1962 E. A. sTRAzDAs BACK PLASTERS Filed Aug. 12, 1960' INVENTOR. ERNEST A. SRAzDAS nited States Patent o BACK PLASERS Ernest Alfons Strazdas, 22 Carroll St., Keene, N.H. Filed Aug. 12, 1960, Ser. No. 49,393 6 Claims. (Cl. 12S-78) My invention relates to improved orthopedic devices for use with the spine while the user is in an ambulatory stage, more particularly to such a device where lower back support is necessary to restore normalcy.
This application is a continuation-in-part of my a-pplication Serial Number 731,287, filed April 28, 1958, now abandoned.
An object of my invention is to provide an improved appliance capable of exerting pressure upon the spinal column in the lumbar region to provide for symptomatic and corrective relief of backache due to muscular spasm, posterior distortion and intervertebral disc movements where lower back support is necessary to restore nor- -malcy.
A more specific object of my invention is to provide ameans to apply corrective forces to the lumbar region of the human spine, more particularly to compress and partially immobilize the lower lumbar segments.
A further object of my invention is to provide an appliance which will not freeze an abnormal condition although permitting side to side tiexion whi e constricting posterior bending of the vertebrae, which is highly desirable in certain types of back conditions.
A still further and more specic object of my invention is to provide a means to help correct kyphosis or posterior bending of the spine.
Brielly, in accordance with my invention, I provide a base panel of exible material having an adhesive coating on one side. Elcngated elements or slats are secured to the central section of an elongated portion of the panel. The elongated elements or slats may comprise one or more superimposed elements of wocd, metal or plastic. uThese members are bcund together by flexible strapping means to permit both longitudinal as well as transverse movement with respect to each other. The elongated base panel is provided with two pairs of oppositely disposed aps coated with adhesive material. A soft covering is positioned over the elongated support. Guards of plastic or other light material protect the adhesive surfaces until the appliance is put into use.
My invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
FIGURE l is a front elevation of an orthopedic appliance made according to my invention with parts removed to show details of construction;
FIGURE 2 is a vertical section of FIG. 1 taken along the line 2-2 of FIG. l; and
FIGURE 3 is a perspective View of the appliance shown in FIGURES l and 2.
Referring to the drawings, an -appliance made according to my invention includes an elongated base panel 1G of flexible material having an adhesive coating 11 thereon. It consists of an elongated portion 13 having a central section 14 for supporting the elongated flexible supporting element or slat assemblies 15.
Extending transversely of the elongated base panel and substantially coextensive with the central section 14 is a pair of flaps 17, 17.
While the base panel is roughly cross-shaped, it can of course assume other shapes. I have found that dimensions of roughly 9 inches by 9 inches is a satisfactory size. The adhesive coating which is applied to the entire base panel including the aps is preferably of a non-irritating type containing zinc propionate and zinc caprylate and may be embedded in elastic strands having limited stretching.
Supported on the' central section 14 of the panel 10 vare the supporting elements or slat assemblies 15. Each consists of two or more slats 15a in superimposed relationship. Each assembly is joined to the next by means of adhesive straps 16 which bind the assemblies together. These slats have a tensioning and floating action Iand conform to the posterior projection of spinous processes and also partially immobilize lower lumbar segments. These slats may be of steel, wood, or plastic and may be rigid or ilexible.
Positioned over the slat assemblies 15 is the soft covering 19 preferably of moleskin. This covers 'and adheres to the slats. The exposed surface of the moleskin is of course not covered with moleskin but may be saturated with an analgesic preparation. This covering gives support without irritation.
To protect the adhesive surfaces during storage and prior to use, I cover the adhesive surfaces with the removable protective shields 20, 20, 21, 21 which m-ay be made of a vinyl plastic or other material such as crinoline. These are removed when the appliance is to be used on a patient.
An appliance made according to my invention has the advantage that while it performs its functions, as described above, the need for use of constricting belts and straps is eliminated.
